A league is that bond between men, whereby interchangeably they testify both by words & signs,1 that they are bound to perform certain things, so that they handle together with good faith. And if that it be a bond, and pertaineth to relation, it is grounded upon humane actions, & is referred to those things which the parties confederated ought to perform the one to the other. It is expressed by words,2 and for the most part signs are added. God when after the flood he made a league with mankind, he did not only declare the form of the obligation by words, but also he put the rainbow in the clouds as a witness. And in the league which he made with Abraham he put the sign of circumcision. Furthermore in that which was made by Moses at the mount Sinai, there were twelve pillars erected, & the people was sprinkled with blood. Joshua also when he should dye, erected up a very great stone, thereby to seal the league renewed between the people and God.
